That loss last year made us mad. We want to beat S-K this year. We have the confidence, knowing we have a great chance at making the playoffs.

This race should give us some confidence, ... We know we can run with them (Mountain View). When we are at full-strength, we'll be right in the mix.

It definitely feels good to get the win after a tough loss last night. It definitely gives us confidence.

I think it (Kansas win) gives us confidence from our Texas loss. Iowa State is a tough environment, and we just need to go in as a team and ready to go from the start.

They were two big games to get our confidence back.

I feel pretty good about it. I'm pretty blown away actually. I didn't ever really think about anything like that. I didn't even know they had the award.
